Simultaneous removal of antimony and arsenic by nano-TiO2-crosslinked chitosan (TA-chitosan) beads
TL;DR: In this paper , nano-TiO2 was incorporated in the chitosan matrix to synthesize an efficient adsorption material nano-titania-crosslinked CHITOSAN beads, which was used to simultaneous removal of Sb and As from aqueous solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient removal of Sb(Ⅴ) from water using sulphidated ferrihydrite via tripuhyite (FeSbO4) precipitation and complexation
TL;DR: In this article , the authors synthesized sulphidated ferrihydrite with different S:Fe molar ratios to efficiently remove Sb(V) from water, and the removal performance was well described by the pseudo-second-order model, suggesting that the removal process was controlled via chemisorption.
Dissertation
Arsenic and antimony in the environment : release and possible immobilization mechanisms
rer. nat. Bolanz,Ralph Michael +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, As5+-ferrihydrite was transformed to hematite and examined by ICP-MS, powder-XRD, SEM, TEM, and EXAFS spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Removal of antimonate (Sb(V)) from aqueous solutions and its immobilization in soils with a novel Fe(III)-modified montmorillonite sorbent
TL;DR: In this article, the efficacy of Fe(III)-modified montmorillonite (Mt) (Fe-Mt), for the removal of Sb(V) from aqueous solutions with Sb (V) concentration in the range of 0.2 − 1 mmol L−1 and immobilization in soils spiked with 250 mg Sb[V] kg−1 was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimony removal from water by pine bark tannin resin: Batch and fixed-bed adsorption
TL;DR: In this article, a pine bark tannin sorbent was used to extract antimony from contaminated groundwater and mine effluents, achieving a good ability to uptake antimony.

The composition of the continental crust
TL;DR: In this paper, a new calculation of the crustal composition is based on the proportions of upper crust (UC) to felsic lower crust (FLC) to mafic lower-crust (MLC) of about 1.6:0.4.

Distribution of the Elements in Some Major Units of the Earth's Crust
Karl K. Turekian,K. H. Wedepohl +1 more
TL;DR: A table of abundances of the elements in the various major units of the Earth's lithic crust with a documentation of the sources and a discussion of the choice of units and data is presented in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative assessment of worldwide contamination of air, water and soils by trace metals
Jerome O. Nriagu,Jozef M. Pacyna +1 more
TL;DR: Calculated loading rates of trace metals into the three environmental compartments demonstrate that human activities now have major impacts on the global and regional cycles of most of the trace elements.
Book
Handbook on the toxicology of metals
TL;DR: Handbook of the Toxicology of Metals as discussed by the authors is the standard reference work for physicians, toxicologists and engineers in the field of environmental and occupational health, which is a comprehensive review of the effects on biological systems from metallic elements and compounds.

Abundance of chemical elements in the continental crust: a new table
TL;DR: In this article, a table of element abundances in the continental crust, calculated on the basis of a 1:1 mixture of granite and basalt abundances, is presented.
